Nose: gun oil, sweet, cherry, berries, a little bit of smoke Palate: sweet, very smokey, banana taffy, a little bit of malt, floral, a little spicy Finish: moderately spicy, smokey (peat and other), gun oil again. This is a very unique whiskey. It is complex and interesting, but not very enjoyable. It is a little like drinking the smells that come to mind when cleaning a gun. I really like the idea behind it and love that whiskey makers are experimenting and getting creative. Unfortunately this one is just not my taste.
